The band calls their style electronic trip-rock/NDH. A quick glance at Wikipedia teaches us that NDH stands for Neue Deutsche Härte (new German heaviness). It’s a style within hard rock /metal music which started in the beginning of the nineties in Germany.Dark, deep vocals with heavy guitars and drums in combination with keyboard or synthesizer samples are the main features of this music. The samples often contain industrial and gothic sounds. Amongst the bands of this style, there are some known names like Die Apokalyptischen Reiter, In Extremo, Megaherz and of course Rammstein.Eisbrecher plays a style between dance and metal. Some songs are more metal and will certainly appeal to the metal fans. I certainly like “Böse Mädchen”, “Eiszeit” and “Bombe” and some of the more heavy tracks. But a lot of the tracks bend more towards the dance side, which I don’t like that much. The dance beat on songs like “Gothkiller” and “Die Engel” puts me off. The rest of the tracks are a mix of both styles.Eisbrecher will certainly not change their style because they are quite successful in Germany. Their previous albums made it to the German charts. They are not a second Rammstein and didn’t really make it abroad so far, but things could change in the future, although I think this style will always be most successful in Germany as the lyrics are in German. Although they did an attempt to escape this routine by singing “Gothkiller” in English, it doesn’t fit within the style anymore and there’s of course a problem with the D in NDH.
